I can't vouch for it and the wiki article seems out of date, but the |
| 10 |
repo does contain dev-libs/amdgpu-pro-opencl. |

That seems like a good starting point if it is current. The last |
| 13 |
update was in Jan, and it appears to use an ubuntu tarball and unpack |
| 14 |
one of the deb files. |

From a glance at it the intent seems to be using the pro driver for |
| 17 |
opencl support, and then using the open source amdgpu for graphics. |
| 18 |
The ebuild warns that this is not an AMD-supported config. |

marecki@g.o seems to be the maintainer of this package, so if you're |
| 21 |
interested in collaborating on getting the entire thing working on |
| 22 |
Gentoo you might consider reaching out to him. The ebuild comments |
| 23 |
suggest that this might be of interest, just not a priority. |

I use the open source amdgpu in-kernel drivers on Ryzen integrated |
| 26 |
graphics and aside from some panics six months ago when it was less |
| 27 |
stable I've found they work well. I don't do anything too serious |
| 28 |
with the GPU - it is just a regular desktop from that standpoint not |
| 29 |
used for gaming/etc. |
